Hammer Attack on Politician Ann Widdecombe | Leeds News
Description
A shocking and chilling case: 28-year-old Joshua Kerry is charged with brutally attacking politician Ann Widdecombe 21 times with a hammer inside her home, allegedly stealing her wallet and fleeing in just two minutes. The attack, which led to her death from blunt force trauma, occurred after she missed a scheduled interview—her gardener found her unconscious on the kitchen floor. Investigators believe Kerry, who traveled over 260 miles from Rotherham, planned the assault with extreme violence. Widdecombe, a veteran MP and Reform UK spokesperson on immigration and justice, was a prominent political figure. Motive remains under investigation—could this be politically or terrorist-driven? A preliminary trial date is set for June 2027.
